Chapter 808: with translation of chapter title

808. Chapter 806: A bad feeling.

Zi Cui Ling nodded, secretly arranging a series of plans in her heart.

"True Lord Po Tian, please rest assured, I will do my best to complete the task."

True Lord Po Tian nodded satisfactorily, "Very good, Zi Cui Ling, I believe in your abilities; we will surely succeed."

Zi Cui Ling stood up, her gaze firm, "Thank you for your trust, True Lord Po Tian; I will do my utmost."

True Lord Po Tian smiled as he saw Zi Cui Ling off from the cave; he knew Zi Cui Ling was a capable woman, and if she could successfully approach Lu Yuan and obtain the relevant information, it would be a great boon to the Black Flame Sect.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan continued forward with Zi Xi'er, having already left the medicine garden of Lei Huo Dan Ge and entered the nearby forest.

This forest was lush and tranquil, the air filled with a faint fragrance of plants and trees.

Lu Yuan focused his gaze ahead, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

Su Liyan lightly patted Lu Yuan's shoulder, smiling as she said, "Lu Yuan, you seem a bit tense; relax, we have already shaken off the pursuit of Lei Huo Dan Ge."

"I know."

Lu Yuan gave a slight smile; he was not nervous because of the pursuit, but because he had always felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.

He could sense a shadow lurking in this forest, yet he could not determine its exact location.

He gripped his Lei Huo sword tightly, ready to face any danger that might appear.

At the same time, he silently operated the Detection Technique in his mind, trying to find potential enemies hidden in the forest.

Suddenly, a foul stench came, and Lu Yuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He instantly withdrew the Detection Technique and gave Su Liyan and Zi Xi'er a warning look.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the forest, and Hong Lietian's figure appeared before them.

He gave an evil smile, a cruel grin curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, you really can't escape."

Hong Lietian said mockingly, "Do you think you can find me just by using the Detection Technique?"

"Too bad, I've long been prepared."

Su Liyan gave Hong Lietian a cold glance, and the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand immediately emitted a piercing hum.

"Hong Lietian, your time of death has come!"

Su Liyan's voice was filled with killing intent and resolve.

"Hahaha, you dare threaten me?"

Hong Lietian laughed loudly, a black qi surged from his body, spreading throughout the forest.

Zi Xi'er tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hand, her face full of worry.

"Lu Yuan, what should we do?"

Zi Xi'er's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

Lu Yuan gently held Zi Xi'er's hand and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, we will protect you."

He stared fixedly at Hong Lietian, while in his mind he contemplated countermeasures.

Hong Lietian's strength was not weak, and he was skilled in Necromancy, which made Lu Yuan feel it was a tricky situation.

Just then, suddenly, a hurried footsteps sounded in the forest, and immediately a figure rushed out.

It was a woman in a black robe, her eyes flashing with sharp light, holding a black staff in her hand.

"Hong Lietian, you dare to deal with people from Lei Huo Dan Ge? You're practically asking for death!"

The woman shouted angrily.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Hong Lietian's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

"Hmph, even members of the Youhun Sect dare to intervene?"

"Hong Lietian will not back down easily!"

He sneered, and the black qi on his body grew thicker.

The woman coldly regarded Hong Lietian, and her staff flashed with a black light.

"Hong Lietian, your Youhun arts are ineffective against me."

The woman's voice was full of confidence.

Hong Lietian's expression turned grave; he knew he had encountered a formidable opponent.

Lu Yuan took the opportunity to silently pass the Ice Crystal Long Whip to Su Liyan, then he softly said to Su Liyan, "Su Liyan, you take Zi Xi'er and leave first; I will deal with Hong Lietian."

Su Liyan's gaze toward Lu Yuan was full of trust and determination.

"Alright, be careful."

Su Liyan nodded, tightly gripping Zi Xi'er's hand, and led her away into the distance.

Lu Yuan stood in place, his gaze locked on Hong Lietian, his aura continually rising.

"Hong Lietian, you have made a fatal mistake."

Lu Yuan's voice was filled with resolve and power.

Hong Lietian sneered, and the black qi in his hand formed a huge demonic claw that lunged at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan moved his foot, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot, appearing behind Hong Lietian.

"Five Elements Escape Technique!"

Lu Yuan gave a low shout, and his spiritual power burst forth with dazzling light.

He swiftly waved his Lei Huo sword, and in the clash of blades, Hong Lietian's demonic claw was shattered.

Hong Lietian had no choice but to flee, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan realized Hong Lietian would not give up easily, so he decided to temporarily withdraw from the forest and wait for a better opportunity to act.

As Lu Yuan's influence in Chen Xiao Cheng grew stronger, Lei Huo Dan Ge began to face pressure from other alchemical forces.

"Lu Yuan, I have a proposal."

Su Liyan's voice rang out in the council hall, drawing everyone's attention.

Lu Yuan raised his head, looking at Su Liyan; he knew she definitely had a good idea.

Su Liyan continued, saying, "To counter external pressure, I suggest we strengthen our cooperation with the Black Flame Sect."

"After all, our relationship with True Lord Po Tian is already very good."

Zi Cui Ling nodded, indicating her agreement.

"Moreover, the Black Flame Sect also has strong strength in alchemy."

"If we can help each other, it would be a great advantage for us."

Others also voiced their agreement, thinking this was a wise decision.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, feeling this proposal made sense.

"Alright, we will strengthen our cooperation with the Black Flame Sect."

"However, before formally proceeding, we will first send a small team to the Black Flame Sect to discuss the specifics."

Everyone agreed with Lu Yuan's suggestion, believing this would better allow them to understand the Black Flame Sect's situation while also deepening mutual trust.

Several days later, Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Zi Cui Ling led a small team to arrive at the headquarters of the Black Flame Sect.

Inside the Black Flame Sect, flames shot up to the sky and a wave of heat hit them.

Lu Yuan felt a scorching aura; this is a consistent trait of the Black Flame Sect.

The Sect Leader of the Black Flame Sect, True Lord Po Tian, greeted Lu Yuan and his party.

"Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, Zi Cui Ling, welcome to the Black Flame Sect."

True Lord Po Tian's voice carried enthusiasm.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, expressing his thanks for True Lord Po Tian's enthusiasm.

"True Lord Po Tian, we have come hoping to strengthen our cooperation to counter external pressure."

True Lord Po Tian nodded to show understanding.

"I understand what you mean."

"The Black Flame Sect is willing to stand together with the Lei Huo Dan Ge, jointly resisting external foes." (End of chapter)
